these people too have bought into a grievance-based distrust of the system.
And it's showing in their embrace of psychotic figures and disconnected politics.
You want to know why the left and the horseshoe right have been holding hands?
The answer is they share at root the same common worldview.
The only difference is the people they believe are the victims of the system.
The left says that the victims of the system are marginalized groups.
Blacks, Hispanics, women, LGBTQ+,
And the horseshoe right believes that the marginalized people are white Christian males and they're the victims of the system.
The reality is that there is always a grain of fruit to every complaint that obviously America's history is replete with discrimination against minority groups.
And also, it is true that in the past couple of decades, policy has been reversed to discriminate against white Christian males, for example.
But instead of trying to course correct or recognizing that even today,
Most of your decisions are in your own hands.
Politicians in the grievance party, which is what we should call them, politicians in the grievance party instead tell you that all of your problems must be laid at the foot of the system and you're not responsible for literally anything in your life.
And this is a major problem.
The horseshoe right and the left, they believe at root the same basic type of politics.
So we should probably stop distinguishing between them and just call them what they are.
The grievance party.
So how should non-conspiratorial Americans fight all of this?
How should we promote things like rationality and meritocracy and American strength?
The answer is by winning.
